Many of you will recognize Christine as one of the smiling faces behind the counter at Nori’s Village Market. Her roots in Saranac Lake go back to her grandmother [[Alberta%20Kenny%20Bodah|Alberta Kenny Bodah]], who worked here as a TB nurse and married her grandfather [[Gus%20Bodah|Gus Bodah]], who was a forester in the area. 

Christine’s dad, [[Dave%20Bodah|Dave]], grew up in Plattsburgh, but he spent every summer with his parents at a platform camp at [[Follensby%20Clear%20Pond|Follensby Clear Pond]], and he always wanted to make his home in Saranac Lake. 

Dave got his wish; he and his his wife, Carol, settled in Saranac Lake, where they raised four children — Mark, Sarah, Dan, and their youngest, Christine. 

Sadly, Alberta and Gus passed away before they knew their grandchildren, but Christine credits them and their love for Saranac Lake for making the village her home today.
